Stan,

Thanks for your reply. If I simply restart the group that contains the 
client that has a failed saveset, then it seems to run the whole thing 
again - all the clients in that group and all savesets in every client. 
What I'm trying to find is a way to re-run only the failed savesets in the 
failed client, not any others that are associated with a particular group.
In this case, we're running an extra full backup every month for off-site 
storage, which as you can imagine is pretty resource-intensive in addition 
to our regular backup schedule, so when only 3 savesets in a client with 
more than 15 savesets fail, I really would like to rerun only the failed 
savesets in the failed client. Or is networker able to do a full of the 
failed savesets and skip the ones that backed up successfully? Am I just 
not thinking about this the right way?

thanks,
~ben
